September 30th, 2009 by David EvansWhat a great week of networking. I started the day with a breakfast meeting with a VC I’ve been corresponding with for several years and then last night I ran into Tigerbow , at Webinnovators in Boston along with @URwingman and a friend who used to do PR for eHarmony several years ago.
